We were late for work yesterday because both our wall clocks at the master’s bedroom and at the living room were not functioning right. It’s either late or advance in giving us the time. I guess we have to replace it considering it’s been 8 years already since we bought it. How I wish I could afford a hermle clock which is made to last for a lifetime. My mom-in-law’s grand father’s clock has been with them for 4 decades now . It is made in Germany and is very durable. I hope to buy a clock that would last a lifetime.
